Mia's January 2022 Reflection

by Missy Robertson January 31, 2022

Jumping into the New Year!

Hi friends! It's Mia! I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This month I spent a lot of time traveling with my family and friends. This month I was in 8 different states! I found that I really enjoy spending time with my loved ones on the road and traveling to see other people!

We have some very exciting news coming soon to MiaMoo! Scroll down to the "Product Spotlight" section for more info!

Thank you so much for all your support and love this month! We love each and every one of you and you are all constantly in our prayers!

MEET ELLIE - OUR JANUARY RECIPIENT!

"We found out about Ellie’s unilateral cleft lip at our 20-week ultrasound, but her cleft palate was a birthday surprise. At only three months, Ellie has fought her way through a cardiac arrhythmia, intrauterine growth restriction, feeding difficulties, and now covid. Despite her challenges, she is a happy, healthy little girl with ever-growing cheeks and an irresistible wide smile. Ellie loves splashing in the bath, cooing as loud as she can, and falling asleep in her Daddy’s arms. We are looking forward to her lip and nose repair in January and cannot wait to see her forever smile."
Ellie’s Mommy & Daddy.
UPDATE: Ellie's lip and nose repair went great. Please pray for Ellie's continued healing after her surgery and for her parents.

Spotted! Mia and her cousins at their favorite tradition of eating at Outback Steakhouse with their Mamaw Kay! So blessed to have her!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Rowan is getting ready to celebrate her 11th birthday. It’s so hard to imagine that 11 years ago we were in the hospital finding out that “just a cleft” was so much more. It’s been 11 years of specialists and therapies, surgeries and tests, enzyme injections and regular x-rays. Through it all she continues to be this amazingly strong little girl. She has shown us that no matter the circumstances, we will get through it together. She continues to defy odds and enjoys life to the fullest. She loves to play with her siblings and read the biggest books she can find. On nice days she is often outside playing with one of the many animals on our farm. Lately though, her favorites are the ducks she got for an early birthday present; Lola and Ruby, named after some of her favorite book characters. Rowan is at the orthodontic stage of her cleft and is in the process of getting a palate expander and a mask to pull her jaw forward. She has blessed us beyond measure and we are so proud of the young lady she is becoming. (Rowan's parents)

"Mia Moo has made a great impact on our family. It’s more than financial help, it is community and relationships. We know the people behind Mia Moo truly care and are passionate about what they do." ~Josh & Kristina
